Code

We have defined a mapping from latitude and longtitude to color that we find helpful. We encourage others to make use of it, and provide sample implementations in perl and python.

We also provide tools to convert Maxmind data to Fsdb format to make it easier to use for bulk operations. Please use this tool to generate supplemental geolocation data for outage analysis.

Datasets

The datasets we generated are:

Taken together these datasets provide complete coverage at the individual IP level for 2012. This data can be browsed on the web.
